What to do about possible structural damage?

[Anonymous]

Our house was built in the 1930s. We re-did our first floor bathroom in 2013 and recently noticed water leaking out of the ceiling in the garage below the bathroom. Soon after that, the tiles in the bathroom started cracking and then the toilet itself broke apart into pieces. The people who did the bathroom originally are willing to replace the tile and toilet free of charge, but I'm worried there is some sort of structural problem that caused the floor to shift and break the tiles and toilet. Does anyone know what kind of professional would be able to assess the situation? A general contractor? Some kind of structural engineer? Does anyone have recommendations? I don't want the bathroom to cave in at some point in the future!

Where are you? I know a good home inspector who is also a structural engineer, but he's in Frederick so I don't think he will go to DC or NoVA.
